Before & After School Care

St. Francis de Sales Elementary School in partnership with the parish offers an integrated Before and After School Care Program which supports children with more freedom to learn and grow, and accommodates families in their daily routines. The out of school care program is recreational and play based with daily activities scheduled based on the interest and developmental ages of the group.

The program is offered to our community and to neighbouring schools. The out of school care operates before and after school for children who attend elementary school from kindergarten through to 12 years of age. The ratio of children to staff is 12-1 for the youngest group and 15-1 for the older children. The out of school care staff have an Early Childhood Educator License and/or school-age specific training. The day will have both active and quiet times. Outdoor time is on the playground (weather permitting), and indoor play time is in the gym.
